Today Chris and I made a batch of "Piano Recital" cookies, well two batches actually. He got the recipe from his mom, who got it from a lady who got it from a lady that made the cookies for a piano recital...hence piano recital cookies. I've got to admit that even while making them they look a little strange...graham crackers covered with slivered almonds and drizzled with a caramelly sauce. But once the caramel hardens and butteryness (yes that's a word) soaks through the bottom of the graham cracker they are pure heaven.
As usual, Charlotte was under foot the entire time. She did score a few graham cracker crumbs, but obviously she was not satisfied and had her eye on the grand prize.
